Description

A palace of secret stories and public lives, Kensington Palace, situated in beautiful parkland in the centre of London was designed as a royal residence for William III & Mary II by Sir Christopher Wren. More recently it has been the official residence to Princess Margaret, Diana Princess Of Wales, and is currently the home to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The recently renovated visitor routes reveal the surprising stories of many of the palace’s inhabitants over the centuries.

Diana, Her Fashion Story.

This new exhibition will trace the evolution of Diana’s style, from the demure, romantic outfits of her first public appearances, to the glamour, elegance and confidence of her later life. Highlights will include the pink blouse worn for Diana’s engagement portrait in 1981, and the ink blue velvet gown, worn when the Princess danced with John Travolta.
